Samsung Galaxy Note too expensive!
At least at UK prices, the Note is more than twice the price of the Nexus 4.
(Yes, it is a much more capable machine, but they aren't in the same price range for comparison.)

Too expensive is right! Plus, the Note is too large. The Nexus 4 is the right size for my needs.

Just a note--the Nexus 4 is now back in stock at T-Mobile. Still no dice for unlocked, Google Play stock.

It's back out of stock at T-Mobile too. I ended up getting a completely different phone since T-Mobile nor Google has the Nexus 4 in stock. My phone was having issues connecting with the network and I couldn't wait any longer. The next time Google wants to release a phone with these specs at such a low price, I hope they make enough of them. This shortage is an epic FAIL!

The shortage was orchestrated to generate and sustain buzz and demand. You can bet that the next phone they offer will NOT be in short supply... they'll make millions of phones and sell them all. (consumers will operate out of fear of being sold out to jump in and buy it immediately)

I don't know you, but from where I stand, it looks like they're already doing so.
So Google put out an unlocked superphone at half the price of any other phone, and were surprised by the huge demand... shocking!

Huge demand...compared to what? How does 750,000 units sold in 2.5 months compare to other phones?

It looks like T-Mobile has the Nexus 4 back in stock. The store I went to today had one left. I ended up getting the Samsung Galaxy SII though. I have a 32GB microSD card and I was not letting it go to waste. I'm so fickle.
